HAT AND VEIL PIN.

Specification of Letters Patent.

ToaZZ whom it may concern Be it known that I, ROSA resident of the borough of Manhattan, city,

county, and State of New York, have in-- vented certain "new and useful Improvements in Hat and Veil Pins, of which the following is a specification.

This device is intended to perform the ordinary duties of a hat pin, while combining therewith the. advantages of an im, proved pin, for which I have provided parts this device is not complicated nor diflicult of operation, nor yet easily brokenior destroyed.

Details and advantages of the construction will appear as the specification pro- The following is what I consider the best means of carrying out this invention.

The accompanying drawings form a part of this specification, in which:

Figure 1 shows my completed device in side elevation. be either the stationary or removable head. Fig. 3 is in section, it shows the peculiar construction of the removable member which may serve as a point protector. This view is on a larger scale.

Similar reference numerals indicate like parts in all the figures where they appear.

At 1, I have shown a hat pin of ordinary shape, size and design and which is provided with an ordinary point 2. Secured to the pin is the head 3, which may be of glass or any other artistic material, and which is secured to the pin by means of the metallic projection or ferrule 45. Secured to themetallic part of the head is a member composed of outwardly extending parts 5, and 6. I have called this member a veil pin and in vso doing have described the operative functions of this part.

formed from perforated sheet metal and The pin 5, 6 may be should have its ends 7 and 8 upturned and sharpened so that a veil may be readilysecured and asreadilyreleased without destroying or permanently marring the veil.

Fig. 2 is in plan, it mayt The membershown attached to the other end of the pin is, to all outward appearances not unlike the head and parts adjacent thereto, but as it is intended that this member shall be easily removable from the pin, it requires that certain changes shall be made in its construction, so I will describe it in detail. A head 9, which may be of attractive design and workmanship is secured to a thimble 10, and outstretched arms 11 and 12 are also secured to the thimble 10. These arms may be of a size and shape exactly similar to the arms 5 and 6.

Secured within the thimble 10 are a plurality of bowed spring members 13 and 14, which bear reliably against the sides of the pin and frictionally engage therewith, operate to retain the removable member. upon or adjacent to the point of the pin, so that the ordinary strains of usage will not displace it.

I .have provided a safety device for retaining the movable member upon the hat, which consists of a safety-pin 15 provided with a disk 16,,upon which an ornamental design is secured or embossed, and a ring 17 which may be formed integral with the disk 16. A short length of chain 18 connects from the safety-pin to a loop 19 formed in, or secured to a convenient part of the removable member or point protector.

In operation the hat-p n 15 passed through the hat and through the hair of the wearer and the removable part is placed over the pointed end of the pin. The veil is then hooked upon one of the veil pinsanddrawn around the hat to be crossed in the back and Patented May 28,1912.

hooked upon the two projecting prongs of the other veil pin. 4

. I prefer that my p n be inserted from the front of the hat so that thesecond veil pin will be at, or about the center ofthe back of the hat. When the second veil pin is removed it may remain'suspended from the chain 18.

- Modifications may be made within the scope of the appended claim without departing from the principle or sacrificing the advantages of this invention. The safetypin andchain may-be omitted.

I have described a veil pm of a particular design, but it is obvious that this design may be changed within the scope of the appended claimj'if it is found desirable to do so. I

I have described one of the heads as removable, but they may both be made removable.

Having carefully and fully described my invention, what I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent is A device for attachment to the end of a hat pin, comprising a head and means eX- tending therefrom for attachment to the end of the pin, a plurality of outwardly extending arms on said head arranged at right angles to said attachingmeans and provided with outwardly turned pin points for engagement with a veil as specified.
